Profile:
One of the pioneers, Nazir Ali played in the first ever Test at Lord's
in 1932 and then represented the country again at Madras in the final
Test of the 1933-34 series. He did not enjoy much success, which was
baffling, for he was a gifted attacking batsman. Besides, he was a
medium pace bowler, good enough to take four wickets for 83 in the
England second innings at Madras, and a splendid fielder.
Nazir Ali first came into prominence with his all round efforts
against Arthur Gilligan's team which visited India in 1926-27.
Gilligan in fact was so impressed that he suggested that Nazir Ali
should qualify for Sussex. Subsequently, he represented the county
once, besides playing much cricket in England, an experience that
stood him in good stead during the 1932 tour, when he made 1020 runs
(average 31.87) and took 23 wickets (average 21.78). A stalwart for
many years for Southern Punjab, Nazir Ali in a first class career that
stretched for 25 years, scored almost 3500 runs at an average of a
little over 30. He also took more than 150 wickets. The younger
brother of Wazir Ali, Nazir Ali in later years was fairly prominent in
the administration of the game in Pakistan.(Partab Ramchand)
